To my dear friend David:
No words can express my sorrow.
Gone too soon ... or simply gone... When we look at the sky we would like to think that they are looking at us. Often we remember them ... morning ... afternoon ... or at night, watching the stars ...in a special date... a song ... a smell ...and then we just miss them and wish they were here.
Se foram muito cedo... ou se foram simplesmente... Quando olhamos para o céu gostamos de pensar que estao olhando para nós. Muitas vezes nos lembramos deles... de manhã... de tarde... ou à noite, olhando as estrelas... em uma data especial... uma música... um cheiro... e entao a saudade bate e ai desejamos que eles estivessem aqui.
com carinho da amiga Tania Pietrangelo

Querido cunhado e irmão David. A vida não permitiu que nos conhecessemos pessoalmente, infelizmente. Mas conheci vc por intermédio da minha irmã, da minha mãe, da minha filha Mariana. E todas diziam a mesma coisa: um cara correto, patriota, bom marido, bom filho... Acho que foi por isso que Deus te chamou. Ele precisa de pessoas com esse gabarito perto dele, num mundo que deve ser melhor que esse. Não te conheci cunhado, mas nutri por vc a mais alta estima, o maior carinho e respeito. Vc amava a minha irmã, sangue do meu sangue e só por isso eu tinha motivos pra te amar tb. Tudo bem, cunhado. Eu acredito que um dia a gente vá se conhecer de fato. E eu vou poder te dar aquele abraço apertado que não consegui dar enquanto esteve aqui entre nós. Fique em paz David e saiba que tudo vai ficar bem. Nós continuamos aqui, vivendo, até o dia que Deus resolver por bem nos reunir a todos nesse lugar que não sei onde é, mas que acredito ser um bom lugar.
Que vc esteja com Deus.
Beijos,
Ana

Love is stronger than death. No matter how hard death tries it can't separate my heart from yours. It can't take away my memories either. Thank you for the years we spend together, for your support, you care and your love. I will always love you and you will be in my heart forever. (me)

His absence leaves a heartache
no one can heal;
But his Love leaves a memory
no one can steal.
David's love was present at Collins' tonight. We are all so fortunate to have been the beneficiaries of his love & kindness.

To David's wife, relatives, loved ones and friends,
My sincere sympathies for our loss of Dave. He was a truly unique person. He and I worked together at the National Library of Medicine for more than 5 years. He treated his customers and co-workers with a friendly respect and a relaxed manner.Whether it was cooking hamburgers and hot dogs in the rain for his co-workers or just stopping by the office to say hello, he was always a friendly face ready to joke with us. He will be missed by his "family" at the National Library of Medicine.

Dear Elisa and Mr and Mrs. Robinson
I remember the first time i met David and Elisa, they were soo welcoming me to their house it was in 2005 and it was Elisa`s birthday, since then i was always invited to their house and every time i was there i felt soo good to be around them, we had soo much fun at all the parties we had been at David`s and Elisa`s house, and i remember that David was very happy having all his friends around. So i will always remember my dear friend David.
It is a great loss to have david gone so soon he was a great friend and it is a very sad and unfortunate event to have him go so soon. Both David and Elisa have been always very friendly and kind hearted since we first met at their christmas party. All of the events have been wonderful and fun and David's presence will truely be missed. We know how happy David was to have all his friends around and how it did feel great to be around David and Elisa too. I will always remember my friend David. We are very sorry for you Elisa, and David's parents Kay and Ray as well.

We didn't know David, but hear he liked bass fishing. Anyone who liked that must
have been a good guy. Ray & Kay - We are so very sorry for your loss.

Gone too soon, my thoughts and prayers go out to Elisa, Kay and Ray.Losing a loved one is a pain; so high, you can't get over it. So low, you can't get under it. So wide you can't get around it. You must go through that door. Keep the faith Kay; I know you will meet him again.

Dear Elisa, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson
I got to know Dave over the many years that he sat in my division's suite here at Democracy Two serving stints providing expert technical support. Dave knew everything about computers and so many other subjects, and he thoughtfully shared his knowledge with all. Not only did our division have this working relationship, but friendships formed and we enjoyed Dave's presence each day he was with us. From our friendship we learned of his great love for his family, friends and his "kids" Sparky and Chase. Dave will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to you at this time of sorrow. Cheryl White

I was shocked and greatly saddened to hear the news of David's passing. I've known David since junior high school. Even though the years and the miles had come between us I always thought David was an all around good guy with a kind heart. I was glad that we were able to reconnect via Facebook. To the Robinson family, please accept my sincerest sympathies and know that you are in my prayers.

Very sorry for your loss. I have known David from back in elementary school and played over at his house. We have been out of touch for many years, but he was a great person. We had actually just reconnected not long ago on Facebook. I am still in shock. David, you will be missed.

You fought a good fight and I'm sorry it ended like this. Christmas, New Years, Independence Day, are a few of the holidays with which your face is synonymous. Truthfully I don't know if they will ever be the same. Thanks for always opening your home to us all and being so good. There is now a huge void where stood, David. We will miss you.
August 31, 2011
Sorry for your loss. I knew David since elementary school. Did'nt stay in touch except for the reunions. Always nice to know we remained friends though. Keep the good memories close and relive them often. Peace

May Christ support us all the day long,
till the shadows lengthen,
and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed,
and the fever of life is over
and our work is done.
Then in his mercy
may he give us a safe lodging,
and holy rest and peace at the last.

Elisa, Kay, and Ray.
We watched David grow up to become a fine young man and loving husband. We recall his joy in fishing, building his boat, and becoming a Ham Radio operator and computer wiz. He was very kind to our sons. When he included them in fishing ventures, we trusted him and knew they were in safe hands. We will miss David.
Love, Rosemarie and Tom
